Colts (U20)

Melbourne Rugby Union Football Club Colts

The Colts are the key side in determining the strength of the Club in the future. Many of our Colts players have come through the Junior ranks and we look forward to seeing this continue in the future as our Junior program becomes even stronger. We have had some excellent Colts sides over the years. The strength of the Club is often displayed in these players maturing into outstanding rugby players. With a set-up aimed at ensuring these young players become the best they can be, those who are capable can look forward to being exposed to Senior rugby where appropriate while being part of a team with a fantastic culture looking to emulate the success of sides in previous years.

Championship – Melbourne Chargers

Melbourne Chargers Rugby Union Club

The Melbourne Chargers formed in 2009 with the purpose of creating a rugby team where new players could learn the game in an accepting environment and players who had left the sport because of their sexuality could play openly. The team aims to contribute to the promotion and development of the sport of Rugby Union in Victoria and to provide a new and diverse social opportunity for same-sex attracted people.

Masters

Master's Melbourne Rugby Union Football Club

The Victorian Masters competition is for players over 35 years of age. The Unicorns’ Masters team, the ‘Gerries’, welcome players who might be returning to the game after a bit of a lay-off; those who might be new to the game but have always fancied giving it a go; and those who’ve decided that the days of playing grade are now behind them. Many of the players are parents of Junior players – who love watching Dad get smashed around on a Saturday afternoon. Enjoyment of the game and each other’s company is the foundation stone of the ‘Gerrie’s’ ethos. They still like winning as well.
